Hi all,
I was just wondering, and I didn't find anything specific related to this exact questions so here goes.
We have a cloning case where we would like to keep all the data of some few specific task related tables and use the 90 days setting for the rest and we were wondering if it could be possible to modify the list of tables this option affects?
If not then I guess we can always clone everything and clean the data afterwards.

Hi @Community Alums
No, you can keep full table or none. Few or selected data cant be keep out from clone.

Hi @Community Alums ,
Yes, you can do that using preserver rule which you need to define in your clone profile. Like we user to preserve service account user records to be overridden and mid server profile to be overridden.
You need to work on preserver table.

oh yeah, sorry, I wasn't really clear here. I mean the task based data we clone from production. We have a bunch of preservers and exclusions set all around so no worries there.
The question is more about the Clone Profile option 'Data Copied From Specific Tables' which we have set to 'Last 90 days'. Now, among these preset tables we have just a few tables where we'd like to clone the whole table and not just the last 90 days of data. So I was just wondering if there is a way to choose the tables this option affects.
Apparently not, so I guess we can always set this option back to 'Full' and use the cleanup scripts to clean the other tables where we want to limit the data.
